Baseball: Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria's three-day public relations campaign to patch things up with angry fans has brought him to spring training. Loria conducted an interview session Tuesday that included several testy exchanges before the owner cut it short. He reiterated previous comments regarding the 2012 payroll purge, saying it wasn't about money but about improving the farm system. Fans are upset that after only one season of big spending in a new ballpark built with contributions from tax dollars, the Marlins have reverted to their tight budgets of the past. This year's payroll is expected to be less than $45 million, compared with $90 million in 2012. Loria denied that he reneged on any promise, noting the Marlins finished last in the NL East with their biggest payroll ever.

College basketball: The Big 12 says officiating errors were made at the end of regulation before men's No. 6 Kansas beat Iowa State 108-96 in overtime on Monday night. The league said Tuesday that "appropriate measures will be taken" against the two officials involved, including an adjustment of "the number of future assignments." The Big 12 did not identify the officials or the plays in question. Kansas' Elijah Johnson drove into the lane and got tangled up with Iowa State's Georges Niang with less than 10 seconds left. No foul was called, and Niang was then whistled for fouling Johnson on the floor. Johnson sank two free throws to force OT with 4.9 seconds left.

Harbaugh's team won the Super Bowl, beating his brother Jim's San Francisco 49ers 34-31 for the Ravens' second NFL title. He graduated from the southwest Ohio school in 1984.

The statues honor Miami graduates who have been named a coach of the year, won a national or pro title, or been inducted into the college or NFL Hall of Fame.
